Rehabilitation and Minnesota Workers' Compensation
Your Rights in Workplace Injury Claims in Minnesota
In many instances being injured on the workplace does not only mean you are put off work for a certain amount of time. It can also mean that your injuries impact your ability to do the same job that you once did or to work a similar job in the future. If you have suffered a debilitating injury while at work, you should contact a Minnesota workers' compensation lawyer immediately. Under the Minnesota workers' compensation laws, you are entitled to a qualified rehabilitation consultant (QRC) and vocational rehabilitation. Every employee has the right to choose his or her own QRC. This choice is one of utmost importance. After all, your QRC will inevitably impact your occupational future and thus it is important to choose a company with the credentials and the testimonials to help you out. You will need to select your QRC within 60 days of filing for your rehabilitation plan.
